What is a noun?

Tuesday 01 December 2020

This week, the children have started learning all about nouns. There are two types of nouns.

Common nouns

These are the names of things (places or objects).

Proper nouns

These are the names of a particular person, place or thing. They always begin with a capital letter.

Today, Year One enjoyed doing a noun hunt around the classroom.

Here is a link for one of the activities we used in class. Have a go with your child at home. Or maybe, go on a noun hunt around the house.
